Sheebeg, Sheemore (CH)

When I originally learned this I used clawhammer tuned to double D. Then I learned it in open G 3-finger picking style. Now I&#39m trying it again with clawhammer after more than 30 years. It&#39s coming back to me and I still think it&#39s amongst the prettiest tunes ever written. The story goes that Sheebeg, Sheemore was the blind harpist&#39s first composition in 1691. It&#39s meaning is &#34Little Mountain, Big Mountain&#34 and was named for a location where a battle between fairy peoples allegedly took place.
